I may not be responding much for a while—my heart is unbearably heavy.
You might be aware, but two recent devastating tragedies in the US have laid my spirit low.
First, today Charlie Kirk—just 31 years old, married with two young children—was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University during his “American Comeback Tour.” As soon as the shot rang out, chaos erupted, and scenes of panic followed. His death was confirmed later in the day today.
Second, recently in Charlotte, 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska—who had fled the war in her homeland seeking safety—was stabbed to death on a public light rail train. The attack was sudden, unprovoked, and horrifyingly captured on video. I have a close Ukrainian fried who also fled for the same reasons and live here where I live so this hits close to home.
In both cases, lives were taken in shocking violence. My heart feels raw—these are not mere news stories, but painful invitations to reflect on our culture's fractured state.
What our world desperately needs is Truth, Virtue, and Wisdom—the steady voice of Christ's love and the Church’s healing presence. I’m praying—not just for the victims and their loved ones, but for all of us in this fractured world.
Please join me in that prayer.
